- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips plus more to top the avocado bread with before baking
Preheat the oven and prep the pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5” loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Blend the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mash together the avocado, egg, and vanilla. Do not overmix, it’s OK if it has a chunky texture. Stir in the mashed bananas.
Blend the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine. Stir the dry flour mixture into the avocado mixture. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with more semisweet chocolate chips.
Bake. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- To ripen your avocado quickly, place it in a paper bag along with a banana. You can also use this same method to ripen bananas. Just place them alone in a paper bag. This will help ripen up your fruit in 24-36 hours.
- Dense breads like this one need to be mixed lightly. Don't use a hand mixer. A wooden spoon will work just fine. If needed, use a spatula.
